People who were rejected- but succeeded anyways

Here's a list of people who were rejected, and told they were not good enough,
but ended up making a name for themselves anyways.  The key is: they never gave up!


1. Michael Jordan- he did not make the varsity basketball team in
his 2nd year of high school...
but later was accepted, after training really hard.
Today he is one of the most successful basketball players
of all time.


2. Walt Disney- nobody wanted to hire him as an artist in his younger years.
So, he moved with his brother to Hollywood instead in his twenties,
and started up his own cartoon studio.


3. Oprah Winfrey-
Seven months after becoming the Anchor of the 6oclock news for a job she took
at thee age of 22 - she was demoted because her newscasts had low
ratings.
But look at how far she's come since then, between her famous talk shows,
television channel, and magazines.


4. Steven Speilberg - was rejected from the Unviersity of Southern California School of Film 3 times.
Yet he went on to become an Academy Award winning movie director.


5. James Cameron- was also fired as Special Effects Director - on the movie set of Piranha 2....
for failing to get a close up shot of the actress in her opening scene.
He has also since also recieved Academy Awards for his directing.


And finally the best one of them all...

6. Jesus Christ -
Even if he was betrayed and rejected by his own friends, nailed to a cross...
even after performing miracles, and preaching kindness and love....
In the end, he was raised from the dead.
And today, Jesus Christ has over 2 billion followers around the world.  :)
